Well, the publication ban has been lifted on the Tori Stafford case and, as suspected, Robbie Thomas was NOT involved in solving that crime (he has never solved a crime using his claimed psychic abilities).
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2010/12/09/16485601.html
Details also show that, not only was Robbie not involved in solving the crime, he (as mentioned here and on my other blog http://sarniaskeptic.blogspot.com/) actually told the family that Tori was alive and would be found alive and well - about a week after she was brutally murdered.
April 8 - Tori goes missing. (Abducted)
April 8 - Abductors buy garbage bags and a hammer.
April 8 - Lifeless body is disposed of.
April 13 - Robbie Thomas claims (on X-Zone radio) that Tori Stafford would be found alive and safe. (He also told the family this as was reported in the London Free Press and other websites)
I will make a prediction now. Robbie Thomas' solved cases counter will not change in the next 9 years. Robbie Thomas has solved 0 cases in 18 (or 20) years. A perfect record!
If you have a moment, congratulate Robbie - robbiethomas@cogeco.ca (and, if you do, carbon copy us - emailus@stoprobbie.com)

Here we go again: Robbie offers to support a charity
If you have been following http://www.stoprobbie.com/ or have read Sarnia Skeptic's blogs regarding Robbie Thomas, this will be somewhat of a rehash. We're revisiting this issue because Robbie is doing it again.
Robbie, in the past, has attempted to suggest legitimacy of his antics by trying to associate himself with reputable charities - charities that support families of missing children and the like. As Robbie has often claimed that he has solved missing persons cases (he hasn't) using psychic powers (which likely don't exist but Robbie definitely doesn't possess), these organizations have demanded that Robbie not use their name/website/information in his promotions.
Charities are thankful for the money they receive from donations but, for the most part, aren't going to toss aside their morals/values/mission for the sake of the dollar.
Often people will operate their own fundraisers with the proceeds going to a specified charity but the charity is not aware of such. This is likely the case with Robbie's recent "fundraiser". He is offering to donate $5 of every sale of his new book (through his website) to "Diabetes Association for children" (which doesn't exist).
Don't be fooled - this is not an official fundraiser (never mind the fact that the only "Diabetes Association for Children" is located in Nevada - and they are not aware of Robbie Thomas' fundraiser and say that they do not support it). Robbie Thomas will do anything to suggest legitimacy and to sell his books.

Fanshawe's Student Voice: Solving crimes from the other side
Robbie recently had a "news" item published in Fanshawe's Student Voice. The incredulous piece written by Jessica Ireland goes through the standard shtick that Robbie gives out - with changes that Robbie makes because he isn't good at telling the same story.
Read: Solving crimes from the other side
A subsequent letter to the editor, Psychic into self promotion refers to http://www.stoprobbie.com/ and the incredulity of the report. Thank you, Ian Koropatnick, for your letter to the editor!
Ironically, Robbie holds firmly to the idea that he "assisted" in the Victoria (Tori) Stafford case (which he didn't solve). Since that case, thousands of murders and abductions have happened yet Robbie hangs on to this horrible example as if it was the "best" he had done.
The very next blog entry on this site: "Is he lying or just not familiar with the English language?" deals with the cases that Robbie claims to have been involved in so I won't go through it here.
Robbie is claiming he has been a "psychic criminal profiler" for 20 years (ignore for a moment that we have copies of all of his old websites and the "psychic criminal profiler" title is only a few years old for him) and he only refers to a handful of cases? If he has psychic powers (he doesn't), they're hardly worth bragging about. 0 solved cases in 20 years. 0 recovered children in 20 years.
If you come across a site referring to Robbie Thomas, please email us at emailus@stoprobbie.com. We also encourage others to do what Ian Koropatnick did - speak up. Robbie Thomas is not psychic.

Is he lying or just not familiar with the English language?
On Robbie's website, he states:
"He has successfully assisted in murder/missing persons cases for twenty years with different Law Enforcement Agencies and families internationally as a Psychic Criminal Profiler. "
Given that Robbie Thomas has never solved a murder/missing persons case (ever - not in 20 years, not in his entire life) using his claimed psychic powers, he is either lying or redefining the words "assisted" and "successfully".
On the "Cases" page of his website he has two (only two) solved cases. Both of which he didn't solve and he didn't assist in solving.
First, Victoria Stafford (Tory). He may have had contact with the family but he did not assist in the solving of that case. Once the trials and appeals have been complete, a simple Freedom of Information Act request will prove that Robbie is lying if he claims he solved that case. (Keep in mind that Robbie told the family that "Tory" was still alive more than a week after, we now know, she was actually murdered.)
Secondly, the site lists "Ceasar Ivan Cano" - Sarnia Skeptic deconstructs the "evidence" that Robbie Thomas (who is not psychic) puts forward to support his claim that he solved. Also, Robbie later claimed that the police didn't listen to him and that they could have saved the life of the child if they had (which is also untrue as he was murdered within a very short time of his abduction). That would imply that Robbie did not "successfully assist".
What do you think? Liar and fraud or unfamiliar with dictionary.com? Either way, he can't help you (or anyone) solve a missing persons/murder case using his claimed psychic powers (Robbie Thomas is not psychic).

Robbie Spends About $100 and Brags About It
It seems that with Robbie's inability to put together a tour or draw a crowd of more than 30 people at almost anything he does, we would have little to write about Robbie. Maybe we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for this posting but, hey, it is about Robbie and scraping the bottom of barrels is his pastime. Here's proof:
Robbie claims to be an author and screenwriter, he claims to work with police in solving murders and missing persons cases, he claims that he has solved a bunch of cases and he even claims that the Vatican (oh, and the US Marshals) consult him. He makes a lot of crap up - we've already pointed that out.
This blog entry isn't about what Robbie Thomas made up - it's about what Robbie is pushing off as some sort of validity for himself.
On Robbie's new website (robbiethomas.net) he has recently added that he is "registered" with the Writers Guild of America, West (and he used a logo that doesn't match the one found on the Writers Guild website).
That's wonderful, Robbie may actually have registered his scripts with the Guild - it doesn't make them good, it doesn't make them worthwhile and it isn't something that few people could do. Anyone can register a script - shell out $20 and send them the material and you get a registration number - whoopty-f'in-doo.
For $20, I'm going to register the full contents of the Stop Robbie Thomas blog site.
Other than being out about $100, not much has changed for Robbie. Robbie Thomas is still not psychic, he is still not consulted by the Vatican, the US Marshals don't call on him and he has still not solved a single missing persons or murder case using any claimed psychic powers.

Remember the Psychic Justice Tour? What about ParaCon 2010?
Despite the tour being over, we must remember that it didn't end as Robbie Thomas had predicted. We know this because his poster suggested that he was doing a lengthy tour and it ended after about half a dozen shows (all with horrible numbers of attendees).
The border of his poster shows the cities that the tour was to include. Going through them...
Robbie Thomas was the organizer of CanAm ParaCon 2010 - held early August at the local Quality Inn. Since the event we have been able to confirm a number of details.
1.) There was no ghost tour held at the Lawrence House
2.) Less than 40 people (including speakers and family) were in attendance (a Quality Inn employee tells us that there MAY have been as many as 20 people in the room but an attendee says they counted 32 different people including speakers and family members)
Other Notes
Robbie Thomas is no longer advertising his Queen Mary "tour". Interestingly, when contacted, the staff at the Queen Mary were unaware of who Robbie Thomas was and were not aware of any scheduled tours with him.
Robbie Thomas' "best selling" book has not sold any copies on Amazon which probably means that all customer reviews on other book selling sites are probably fake.
Many of the contributors to this blog have been banned from commenting on Robbie Thomas' videos on YouTube. If you have a YouTube account, consider adding a comment to Robbie's videos and make reference to this site.

Typical Robbie Thomas
A follower of this site alerted us to an update on Robbie Thomas dot Net. Following the "Cases" link you will find a copy of an email:
Robbie Thomas is not psychic.
----- Original Message -----However, the very same "Rob" that supposedly sent Robbie that email now has Robbie listed on his: "The 'X' Zone Order of Woo Woos" (http://www.xzoneorderofwoowoos.com/) and beside Robbie Thomas' name is the following:
From: Producer
To: rob thomas
Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 10:18 AM
Subject: 'X'Zone Radio
Dear Robbie,
Sometimes I think you are an angel...I'm sorry I didnt get your reply in time , but,....It all worked out okay .
I have wonderful news,... Coreys' mom just called and he is fine ! He was ticked off, just like you said.....he said he didn't think anyone would even notice he was gone. Thank-you for all you have done Robbie..........we so very much appreciate it.
God Bless, Laura and Rob
Psychic who claimed 8-year-old Victoria Stafford would be found well and safe on April 13 2009 on The 'X' Zone. On Sunday July 19 2009, her lifeless body was found near Mount Forest, Ontario.Reports suggest that Victoria Stafford was murdered within a day (or two) of the abduction (April 8, 2009). Not only was Robbie Thomas wrong about Victoria Stafford being found well and safe - at the time he made such a claim, she had already been murdered.
Robbie Thomas is not psychic.
